Wanted Man Who Failed To Appear In Court Has Pokémon GO To Thank For Leading Him Straight To A Police Station

In Milford, Michigan, a 26-year old wanted man by the name of William Wilcox had himself taken into police custody while playing Pokémon GO. According to sources close to the matter, police chief Tom Lindberg states that the individual had complete knowledge that the police station was a gym, but it was his bad luck that he thought the authorities would not recognize the wanted man.

Lindberg stated that Wilcox was busy in his Pokémon GO session wearing his pajamas and was completely oblivious to the fact that he did not notice the authorities watching him. To be honest, the game has that effect on people, since you’ve all read the series of accidents that have taken place ever since its release. However, when it came to arresting the individual, Wilcox did not put up a fight at all, but he was more upset about the fact that he was forced to stop playing his favorite game rather than being apprehended by the authorities.
